Grenzgänge der Ästhetik

This book, a collection of essays and lectures rather than a cohesive work, offers some interesting and insightful perspectives on aesthetics. However, the repetitive nature of the content, including frequent reminders of key definitions and concepts, can be tiring for engaged readers.
The first chapter stands out as particularly thought-provoking, as the author, Welsch, addresses the issue of philosophy's “hijacking” of art—a significant problem in contemporary art discourse. The explanation and categorization of various types of aesthetics are also engaging.
Unfortunately, when the author delves into detailed explanations of other philosophers' ideas, the main arguments lose some of their impact as the context becomes diluted.
